THANKS NETZIH!!

I am still looking for data points as to whether people skipping the flight to YYZ will get partner credit. I believe the earliest flights available in this deal were in November (although if I'm wrong and people were already able to take some of those flights, please correct me), so I assume we'll have to wait until mid-to-late November for the brave individuals who chance it to educate the rest of us.

1) Don't credit your miles to United. There have been many reports of United miles being clawed!

Excuse my ignorance but how do I credit my miles to UA? Can it be done online?
I can't seem to attach a FF# to my reservations online at this point. I imagine that all these reservations are flagged if you call customer service. I clearly remember seeing the possibility to do that earlier. I'm keeping the tickets regardless and not flying the last leg.

i think everyones status says "active" we'll have to wait and see till someone tries it out.
Update: the status of the ticket now appears as "refunded"

BOS-PHL-ZRH-TLV

After getting the email telling me my flight has been changed, I noticed a diff flight number from BOS-PHL.  Cuts my connection from 58 to 51 min (70% on time on the inbound flight) and need to get from terminal B to terminal A.

I assume my odds of making the connection are slim to none.
If I misconnect, is the airline officially responsible to reroute me?

I would request a reroute based on the shortened connection time, they took away 12% of your connection time...

Not sure what the second half meant but do you recommend calling Orbitz or US?

US, orbitz can't/won't reroute you. 7 minutes out of 58 minutes is 12%.

They offered to change my BOS-PHL flight to one earlier that day for no fee.
Don't think I'll do it though bc it will be annoying to get from NYC to BOS and be there early.

I'm flying iyh with my wife & two children, for my kids who won't probably fly again anytime soon, should I credit the miles to UA?, US?, AC? Or to Aegean just in case there will be a good deal again soon?

I would say that you should contact the email that was included in the email they sent a month ago.
Big chance that they might still refund it.

My brother in law emailed them to cancel (after the deadline), they didn't want to refund, only willing to cancel and give credit for the amount paid for future travel within a year.

Some people are doing exactly what USA wanted them to do! Personally this deal is worth even without getting miles! Especially you can put another *A no. And still might get miles. Enjoy your trip don't chicken out!!

thank you for the peace of mind... last thing orbitz sent me an email in my original itinerary that my first legs on time percentage is 20%  with that being said.. if my first flight get delayed and i am going to miss my connection. are they obligated to give me a direct flight from LGA-TLV?

As far as I know, since it is one booking it's US Airways's responsibility to get you to TLV, I'll admit that 1h 9m is quite short, but you should be able to make it, I would suggest that you try to go standby on an earlier flight from LGA to PHL. good luck.
